I have Chevy tavera 2012 model for my own use. I have completed 72000 kms with OEM Bridestone tyres with smooth driving. The people at alignment shop said that it will run more than 5000 kms. Should I continue with that or change to new tyres?

72,000 kms is quite a lot of mileage for a single set of tyres. Generally, tyres need replacement at about 50000 kms. However, it won't be possible to suggest if you need new set of tyres without inspecting the tyres. You can test the tread depth yourself to decide on that. Take a 1 rupee coin place it between the tyre tread. if the head of ashoka is visible from the side then you should replace the tyres. Also read: Importance of tread depth

how can i check my car tyres condition at after 4500 km run. and when i go for a new tyres?

Generally, a set of tyre last for about 40,000 kms. 4500 km is very short distance to notice any tyre wear. However, you should inspect them for the possible damage caused due to driving on the bad roads, specially tyre sidewall damage. Look out for cuts or Bubbling of sidewall.

I am having dezire diesel engine car from Suzuki company and in 35000 km my Bridgestone tyres are need to replace because of wear and tear. Kindly guide me why this is happening.

Generally tyres lasts for about 40,000-50,000 km. However this figure is just an estimated figure. Tyre wear depends on number of factors like your driving style, general maintenance like alignment/balancing and checking tyre pressures regularly.
